Keira Maguire's epic I'm A Celebrity meltdown: 'Worse than any treatment I've had on my face'

The Bachelor star Keira Maguire had a big, messy breakdown on her first day on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! You know, the kind that reality TV junkies pray for.

The 31-year-old threw an A-grade hissy fit during her first tucker trial, at one point saying she was "dying" and begging the show's hosts, Dr Chris Brown and Julia Morris, "Can you not show that on TV?"

Sadly, Keira didn't get her wish, and her meltdown was broadcast with sadistic glee. So what happened?

The reality star lost it during "The Grim Gallery" challenge after putting her head into tanks filled with live rats, a giant spider, a snake and hanging hot chillies, to retrieve "star" blocks with her mouth.

While the spider would probably send us over the edge, it was the hot chillies that did it for Keira. A medic arrived on scene, and Dr Chris leapt to her aid as she started crying and screaming.

"I can't believe they did that to me. They don't know how much it's burning," she said to the medic and production crew. "You don't know, like, how this feels right now.

"I have a very strong pain threshold. That was so bad. Like worse than any treatment I've had on my face…and that's painful. Burning my face so bad and no-one even cared. No-one even cared!"

Keira has previously talked about having $22k worth of cosmetic surgery treatments, including a nose job, lip fillers, Botox, eyebrow tattoos, and anti-acne "vampire facials". This was obviously MUCH worse.

The former Bachelor "villain" got increasingly hysterical, yelling: "This is not okay! This is not okay! Is this really what it's going to be like the whole time? Just like, 'Let's let her f---ing die!'"

Despite her distress, Keira's protests were only met with eye-rolls and sly digs from Julia, who asked "Isn't that what they signed up for?"

Keira's campmate Dane Swan continued the challenge, and later told the other contestants that Keira went "berserk at the end". She said afterwards: "I'm going to be scarred for life. I'm not going to forget about anything."

The show's hosts clearly weren't so sympathetic. Later, Dr Chris said Keira was "competing against Chernobyl for the title of the Most Epic Meltdown Ever."

Julia added: "Bet she wins."

Let's hope the rest of Keira's time in the jungle isn't so traumatic.
